Two species from Buena Vista Park

I often take a stroll over to my local park to see what's there. Last week I found a few Warblers that I've already since posted.Here is a White-throated Sparrow and some of the many Pine Siskins that were busy eating high up in the tops of the Spruce Trees :

White-throated Sparrow - I've often seen this species eat Red Osier Dogwood berries. I'm now beginning to think its their favorite food :

Pine Siskin : Eating, funnily enough, Pine seeds :-)

Actually , make that three species ...

Northern Flicker - There were also many of these around. Here's a male with a female in the background :
